Four of the five starters for the Portland Trailblazers have left this offseason leaving the new franchise star Damian Lillard all alone. He’s signed a five-year, $120 million extension that keeps him in Rip City until the 2021 season, and he’s now the longest-tenured Blazer, going into his fourth NBA season. Lillard publicly reached out to LaMarcus Aldridge to try and convince him to stay but he chose to sign with the San Antonio Spurs. There was talk that Aldridge resented Lillard’s emergence as the face of the franchise. But Lillard said that there are no hard feelings between them, and they’re on good terms.

This is such a dope video! The last people you ever think about sneaker culture with are senior citizens, but these lively folks are looking fresh thanks to Damian Lillard. Dame stopped by the Creekside retirement community and showed love to the local residents and the love was returned ten fold. They may be older, but they knew who Lillard was and they seemed to love their red “D Lillard 1’s”. Safe to say the Blazers will have this group of fans rooting hard for them.
(Photos) NBA: Another Twitter Troll Tries Damian Lillard & Gets Shut Down In Epic Fashion
If you are going to try and troll Damian Lillard you better be ready for some heat to be fired back your way. Lillard and his Blazers were in Florida, playing in Miami one night and Orlando the next. He took to twitter to compare the two cities and instead someone on twitter tried to compare him to Steph Curry but tried to play him while doing it. Lillard came back by destroying the troll about his teeth being different directions and it was so bad the dude actually changed his Avi to an image with no smile, LMAO! The guy seemed to realize he never should have said anything cause he even tweeted about changing his pic. Lillard has since deleted the exchange. Check the gallery!
